Trend Bars (HTF PO3)Hello Traders!
The innovative TRN Trend Bars are designed to help traders to analyze markets in an intuitive way. The TRN Trend Bars show bullish and bearish trends and reversals based on color coding the bars and give high probability trade opportunities.
How does the Trend Detection work in detail?
The trend analysis is based on a new algorithm that includes several different inputs:
detection of classical and advanced bar patterns
the statistical frequency of these bar patterns and their statistical outcomes are computed based on historical data
probability distributions of price expansions after certain bar patterns
bar information such as wick length in %, overlapping of the previous bar in % and many more
The algorithm weighs these inputs and computes the likelihood of a trend continuation, or a reversal. The likelihood is computed based on statistical information such as occurrence frequency of certain patterns and their historical performance.
The algorithm then outputs a color scheme for the chart bars.
Analyzing the market with the TRN Trend Bar color scheme
Green Bars signify a bullish uptrend. On the other hand, Red Bars indicate a bearish downtrend. The transition from red to green denotes a bullish trend reversal. Conversely, the shift from green to red signals a bearish trend reversal. By monitoring these color changes, traders can identify potential trend reversals and make informed trading decisions.
The presence of gray and black bars indicates a neutral market state, often observed before an impending color change from red to green or green to red. These neutral bars serve as a transition phase between the previous trend and the potential reversal.
How to use TRN Trend Bars for trading?
The TRN Trend Bars are very sensitive. Therefore, they make it easy to find strong short-term trends and pullbacks of the main trend. This can result in high probability entry and exit signals. Here are some trading strategies examples:
Breakouts
After an up breakout of a consolidation or range (or any other chart pattern) you can enter the moment TRN Trend Bars turn green. Alternatively, you wait for a pullback with red bars and enter once a green bar occurs.
Pullbacks
In a trending market you use the TRN Trend Bars for pullback entries. For example, if we are in a strong downtrend and a few green bars occur, then you can enter short once a red bar is displayed.
Exit signals/Trade Management
If you are in a position, you can use the TRN Trend Bars to manage the trade or find good exit points. In case the bar color is not in favor of your position anymore, you can either adjust your stop loss or exit the position completely. E.g. you are in a long position and the bars turn red, then you can either close the trade or tighten your stop loss.
Conclusion
While signals from TRN Trend Bars can be informative, it is important to recognize that their reliability may vary. Various external factors can impact market prices, and it is essential to consider your risk tolerance and investment goals when executing trades.

PO3
Trend Bars Pro (HTF PO3)Hello Traders!
The innovative TRN Trend Bars Pro are designed to help traders to analyze markets in an intuitive way and provide high probability entry and exit signals. It combines three core concepts:
TRN Trend Bars to see the current trend and reversals (replaces the default chart bars)
Bar Ranges to highlight consolidations
Dynamic Trend to see the overall trend.
First, let's have a look at each of these concepts individually. Afterwards, we describe how a combination of all three gives you a crystal-clear picture of the market.
TRN Trend Bars Pro
They show bullish and bearish trends and reversals based on color coding the bars and give high probability trade opportunities with special colors. The trend analysis is based on a new algorithm that includes several different inputs:
classical and advanced bar patterns and their statistical frequency
probability distributions of price expansions after certain bar patterns
bar information such as wick length in %, overlapping of the previous bar in % and many more
historical trend and consolidation analysis
The algorithm weighs these concepts and outputs a color scheme for the chart bars or candlesticks.
Bar Types
Trend bars in green and red
Reversal Bars in blue and fuchsia
Continuation Bars in turquoise and orange
Breakout Bars in dark green and pink
Green Bars signify a sustained uptrend, indicating bullish market sentiment. On the other hand, Red Bars indicate a persistent downtrend, representing bearish market sentiment. The transition from red to green denotes a bullish trend reversal, suggesting a shift from bearish to bullish sentiment. Conversely, the shift from green to red signals a bearish trend reversal, indicating a transition from bullish to bearish sentiment. By monitoring these color changes, traders can identify potential trend reversals and make informed trading decisions.
The presence of gray and black bars indicates a neutral market state, often observed before an impending color change from red to green or green to red. These neutral bars serve as a transition phase between the previous trend and the potential reversal.
The TRN Trend Bars Pro incorporate signal bars, distinguished by their distinct colors, to offer potential buy and sell signals and deeper insights into market dynamics.
Reversal Bars
The presence of blue Reversal Bars indicates a trend reversal to the upside, while pink Reversal Bars indicate a reversal to the downside. These bars not only serve as signals for potential trend shifts but also present favorable opportunities to enter the market or increase one's position size.
Continuation Bars
In addition to the reversal bars, the indicator also includes bullish continuation bars (colored turquoise) and bearish continuation bars (colored orange). These bars act as signals for the continuation of an existing trend. Like the reversal bars, they can be utilized as entry points or opportunities to augment one's position size.
Breakout Bars
The dark green breakout bars within TRN Trend Bars Pro show a powerful breakout from a price range detected by our integrated bar range feature. They signify the continuation or potential change in a trend following a consolidation phase. As such, these bars hold dual functionality, serving as reversal signals and validating the persistence of an ongoing trend.
Bar Ranges
The bar range feature automatically finds consolidations where the price range of several consecutives bars is rather small. The detection of the bar ranges includes among other things the overlapping percentage of these bars.
How to Use Price Ranges
Here are a few ways you can use the bar ranges in your trading:
Identify Support and Resistance Levels
The price ranges can help you identify key support and resistance levels on a chart. By observing price ranges and identifying these levels, you can make more informed decisions about entering or exiting trades.
Breakout Trading
Price ranges can also provide insights into potential breakout opportunities. Breakouts occur when the price breaks out of a defined range, signaling a potential shift in market sentiment and the start of a new trend. The Color highlighted Breakout Bars from the TRN Trend Bars Pro are signaling a powerful breakout of a price range. Traders can enter positions in the direction of the breakout and set appropriate stop-loss orders to manage risk. Note that not every price range is left by a powerful breakout.
Dynamic Trend
The Dynamic Trend combines elements from standard trend strength indicators (e.g. DI-, DI+, Parabolic SAR) and volatility indicators (e.g. ATR, Standard Deviation). It produces a moving average line that adapts to changing market volatility. It is inspired by the ideas of the programmer and trader Fat Tails. The adaptive behavior provides more relevant information for traders when compared to traditional moving averages which do not consider volatility and trend strength together. This makes the Dynamic Trend completely unique, and no other moving average indicator can give you this precision.
How to use Dynamic Trend
Generally, a rising Dynamic Trend line, displayed in green, indicates that an uptrend is strong, while a falling Dynamic Trend, displayed in red, suggests that the downtrend is sharp. The Dynamic Trend turns gray when there is insufficient clarity to establish a distinct trend and especially when there is not volatility in the market.
Identify potential trade entries and exits: When used in conjunction with price action, the Dynamic Trend can provide potential trade signals. For example, if the price crosses above the Dynamic Trend, it may be a bullish sign, suggesting a potential buy entry. Conversely, if the price crosses below the Dynamic Trend, it may indicate bearish conditions and a potential sell signal.
Trend Identification and Pullback trading
Observe the Dynamic Trend's color. When it's on the rise and appears green, it indicates a bullish trend. Conversely, if it's in decline and displayed in red, it signals a bearish trend.
If Dynamic Trend is green and price pulls from above back to the Dynamic Trend, then this can be considered as a bullish signal.
If Dynamic Trend is red and price pulls from below back to the Dynamic Trend, then this can be considered as a bearish signal.
In the event of a bearish signal, such as a bearish TRN Signal Bar, and the Dynamic Trend is red, it provides additional confirmation to the bearish signal. Likewise, bullish signals gain added conviction when the Dynamic Trend is green.
Crossovers
As with other moving averages, crossovers between the Dynamic Trend and the price can be significant.
If price is crossing above the Dynamic Trend, then this can be considered as a bullish signal.
If price is crossing below the Dynamic Trend, then this can be considered as a bearish signal.
If you currently hold a position, both bullish and bearish crossovers can serve as potential exit signals. For instance, in the case of a long position, a bearish crossover can indicate a potential shift in sentiment, signaling a bearish reversal and a potential opportunity to close your long position.
Filtering Noise
Due to its adaptive nature, the Dynamic Trend can be a useful tool to filter out market noise. When the market is choppy or consolidating, the Dynamic Trend tends to remain flat and colored gray, signaling traders to potentially stay out of the market.
Stop Losses
The Dynamic Trend can also be used as a dynamic stop loss. For instance, in a long trade, traders can use the Dynamic Trend as a trailing stop, selling their position if the price crosses below the Dynamic Trend.
Combining TRN Trend Bars Pro, Bar Ranges and Dynamic Trend together
Combining all three concepts gives you a crystal-clear picture of the market. The Dynamic Trend shows you the overall trend. If price pulls back to the dynamic trend line and then price picks up the trend direction again, then the TRN Trend Bars Pro immediately switches the color to the trend direction. Therefore, you can easily identify high probability entry signals based on the bar color.
As a simple trading model, you can set the stop loss below the last swing or below a TRN signal bar (vice versa for short entries) and use 2.5 R or 3 R as target.
You can increase the success rate of the high probability TRN signal bars entries even more if they are in line with the Dynamic Trend line.
On the other hand, the TRN Bar Ranges help you to stay out of the market in case the price does not really change. As a confluence signal to stay flat in this period the dynamic trend line tends to be grey as well. If the price breaks out of the range, then the indicator prints a breakout bar which serves as a high probability entry signal.
Although it is possible to switch off any of these concepts, it is highly recommended to use all three in combination to get a crystal-clear picture of the market.

HTF Candle ProjectionsThe HTF Candle Projections indicator shows a number of candles from a higher time frame (HTF) projected to the right of the candles in the current timeframe. This can be very useful if you want to analyze two different timeframes without the need to switching between the different timeframes.
This indicator is highly inspired by the HTF Power of Three indicator by @toodegrees but is fully free and open source, it also have support for showing more than just one candle in the projection. It is also inspired by the HTF Candle Insights (Expo) indicator by @Zeiierman but differ in the way that it update the HTF candles in real time and also have support for showing Open/High/Low projections that also updates in real time.

itradesize /\ Previous HTF x OHLC Box
FYI: It is an invite-only script, if you are interested in, please scroll down to see the Author's instructions.
Introducing an indicator which inspired by ICT concepts that use a model, based on what TTrades teaches in some of his DOL videos about how to get a proper bias.
Having a daily bias can be frustrating and this script could make it easy for you besides creating a ton of opportunities for scalpers as well as not only helpful for a daily bias, it can also help you to determine the actual H4 or H1 bias or even lower.
Always keep in mind: the higher the timeframe you use, the more accurate it can be.
You can use OHLC to determine the current or higher time frame bias as it can be used on any of them and properly gain a sentiment of a drawn of liquidity.
This model integrates the previous candle's open, high, low, and close values (or open, low, high close) in addition to their equilibrium to make it easier to identify where the price should go moreover they can be used as reference points for potential trading opportunities.
The 50% also known as equilibrium creates premium and discount zones within the previous candles. Using the former higher timeframe candle’s OHLC you can simply have an external range of liquidity and where the current price should it drawn to.
With this tool, you can achieve a proper trading framework as you can easily recognize the external & internal range of liquidity, so whether you are a scalper or a day trader you are able to rely on the indicator.
A bit of a candlestick analysis:
When the price wicks below means a potential bullish reversal is incoming.
When the price wicks above, then it means a potential bearish reversal is happening.
Closing below means lower prices. (Bearish trend)
Closing above means higher prices. (Bullish trend)
This indicator is an absolute monster for the OHLC guys.
How to use it?
- Analyse the trend on the higher timeframe, bullish trend is when the price continuously takes the previous candle’s high over and over again. Bearish trend is the total opposite.
- Wait for external liquidity to be taken.
- When it's happening there should be a displacement back to the range with an actual structure shift.
- Looking for an imbalance in the displacement.
- Aiming for an imbalance that is above 50% of the former move.
- Aggressive stop: below or above the candle which has an imbalance
- Conservative stop: below or above the former swing
Classic sell setup:
Classic buy setup:
The indicator has a ton of customizable features, the power of the tool is really in there, as you can find or refine your own model with it. Once you're familiar with your setup you will be really feeling the power of the tool, I promise.
Indicator Features:
• M5/M15/H1/H4/D Time frames
• OHLC bar with an offset (you can have a look at the current HTF bar developing or you can use it as a locked previous bar)
• Current time frame OHLC / OLHC box with extended lines to the current time
• Showing the previous time frame OHLC / OLHC box with extended lines and the ability to add labels. The color of the OHLC or OLHC box is based on the candle closing. If it's a bear candle, if it's a bull candle.
• Previous high time frame open / close lines with labels, customisable colours, label sizes
• It has a lot of customisable features, the power of the tool is really in there as you can find or refine your own model with it.
• Every box and bar automatically switches its colors based on the close of the candle whether it's a bear or a bull candle.
• The color of the labels is switching automatically based on the coloring of your chart.
• You can customize each and every box color - OHLC/OLHC based on your taste, and the open and closing lines of the previous HTF.
Additional Information:
You can combine it with my own model. If you are not familiar with it, you can find here .
Or you can combine it with other frameworks for extra confluences like combining it with Daye’s QT in some simple equation:
Open → Q1 , High → Q2, Low → Q3, Close → Q4
Open → Q1, Low → Q2, High → Q3, Close → Q4
90 Minute Cycles + MTFCredit goes to LuxAlgo for the inspiration from 'Sessions' which allowed users to analyse specific price movements within a user defined period with tools such as trendline, mean and vwap.

Usage
By breaking 24hrs in quarters, starting with an Asian range of 18:00 NY time you can visualise the principles of Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution and Rebalance. Know as AMD or PO3 (Power of Three), the principle is that the Manipulation phase will break above or below the Accumulation, before moving in an apposing direction and then rebalancing. This only works when there is a higher timeframe PD array or liquidity to support an apposing move.
Further to the daily quarters, each one can then be broken down again into 90min cycles. Again, each represents AMD, allowing the user an opportunity to watch for reversals during the 90min manipulation phase.
Note: Ensure the Asian Cycle always begins at 18:00 NY time.
The example shows that the 90min cycle occurs, followed by an apposing move away in price action
Here is the Daily cycle, highlighting the Manipulation phase.
Enjoy!
HTF Power of Three° [Pro+] by toodegreesDescription:
Power of Three ( PO3 ) is one of the many concepts introduced by the Inner Circle Trader , and inspired by Larry Williams .
The PO3 represents a three staged Smart Money campaign: Accumulation , Manipulation , and Distribution ( AMD ).
This tool helps to build narrative, as well as spotting important institutional levels.
ICT traders assume that this pattern represents how any candle is built.
“ This is applicable to every time measurement, as long as you have a beginning time, the highest value, the lowest value, and an ending in terms of measuring time. ”
Consider the development of a Bullish Candle over Time:
– Candle Open (initial value price, prior to dynamic imbalance)
– Accumulation of longs around the opening price
– Manipulation where short liquidity is engineered and long liquidity is neutralized
– Range Expansion (dynamic price imbalance)
– Distribution pairing long exits with pending buy interest
– Candle Close (ending value price, post dynamic imbalance)
The same goes for the development of Bearish Candles, in reverse.
Indicator Features:
The HTF Power of Three° Pro+ Indicator allows to monitor the selected Higher Timeframe Candles in real time:
– Follow HTF Candle development Live
– Plot unlimited HTF Candles on the current resolution
– Use NY Midnight time as the Candle Open on Daily and Weekly timeframes
– Spot HTF PD Arrays while on a lower timeframe
– See where the HTF Open, High, and Low are in the current lower resolution with high precision
– Know when the HTF candle is supposed to Close by monitoring its own countdown (below 1D)
– Note previous HTF Low to High ranges to gain a deeper understanding of LTF market profiles
Additional Features:
– Choose between Candles and Bars to display your HTF PO3s
– Hover on the open and close of past HTF candles to see their OHLC and Range values
– Resize and offset HTF candles to your liking
– Stack multiple instances on the indicator to show multiple higher timeframes at once on the same layout
– Backtest strategies with two (or more) timeframes on one chart
– Study and backtest PO3 in Replay Mode with ease

This becomes very useful when studying, and especially using, PO3. One can use this as a tool to build narrative, as well as spotting important institutional levels.
You can also monitor more than one HTF PO3 at the time by stacking multiple instances of the indicator:
This works on any timeframe, even the seconds charts!
Note: if you select too high of a PO3 timeframe while on LTF you might receive an error due to TrandingView's data availability on that chart – this can also depend on your TradingView Plan.
dmn's ICT AMD-Goldbach█ OVERVIEW
This script is built on ICT time & price theory and the theory of algorithmic market maker models, and visualizes the intraday divided using powers of three into accumulation, manipulation and distribution cycles.
It also includes an automatically calculated and plotted Goldbach level (a.k.a. IPDA level or Huddleston level) overlay, to help visualize where in the current market maker profile price is in relation to the AMD cycles, and where it might trade to.
█ CONCEPTS
Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution Cycles
A 24 hour day, with the default set to start at 20:00 CET (the start of the Forex CLS Settlement operational timeline) is split in three parts - 9, 6 and 9 hours for the three cycles (roughly corresponding with Asia, London Open and New York + London Close sessions).
Since charts are fractals, there's also intra-cycle time fibs available in the script, to highlight the smaller fractal equivalents in each cycle.
These cycles are used to visualize the three phases (AMD) for easier identification of the current daily profile by analyzing during what cycle highs and lows of the day are made.
An example of a bullish day could be price rallying before making a low during the accumulation cycle, being manipulated higher and retracing to form an optimal trade entry during the manipulation cycle, expanding and creating the high of the day before selling off during the distribution cycle, with a potential reversal before it ends.
Goldbach levels
The Goldbach levels are based on the size of a price range (or price swing, if you will) expressed as a factor of power of three (3^n).
To decide what number to tell the script to use for the calculation, we look at what 3^n number best fits an average swing on the preferred timeframe we're trading.
For example; PO3 27 (3^3)might be fit for scalping, while PO3 243 (3^5) may correspond to the daily or weekly range, depending on the asset.
The script then calculates a range high and a range low using a power of three formula based on the current price and divides it into levels using Goldbach numbers.
At these levels one might expect to see price form various "blocks" as defined in concept by Michael J. Huddleston.
The blocks that correspond to the Goldbach levels are labeled with abbreviations as follows:
Ext = External range
Low = Range low
High = Range high
FVG = Fair value gap
RB = Rejection block
OB = Order block
LV = Liquidity void
BR = Breaker
MB = Mitigation block
Using these levels and said blocks we identify where in the current running market maker profile price is offered, and trade the preferred timeframe in line with the AMD cycles accordingly.
█ FEATURES
Custom AMD time cycles session times.
Custom time fib for fractal cycles.
Color and style customization.
Show only current or also historical cycles.
Equilibrium mode for Goldbach levels (show only high/low and midpoint)
Autodetection of asset type, with manual override.
█ NOTE
The default timings for the AMD cycles are set up for Forex pairs. For other asset types, such as indices, other timings are nessecary for optimal results.
Goldbach levels requires the correct symbol type setting for the calculation to work properly. Disable the script's autodetection and enable/disable the Forex option according to the type of chart if it fails.
Accumulation Manipulation PO3 and MMXMMuch is said about the market maker or manipulation of price, but there aren't many indicators that try to show this, until now.
Using an easily customisable, but intelligent algorithm, this indicator tries to find and highlight when price is 'ranging', or 'accumulating'. It does this by looking at changes in price and quantifying the strength of the change, based on current and historical changes, and can therfore decide if price is staying in range or breaking out. By showing this on the chart several approaches can be taken.
Simply, you can trade within the range, and also trade breakouts of the range, knowing that price will react at these range 'levels'.
Alternatively, you can use the accumulation boxes to try and identify MMXM models, that is Market Maker Buy and Market Maker Sell Models, where price moves in phases of consolidation, smart money reversal and re-accumulation.
Finally, using the manipulation detection option, you can try to identify when a sudden change in price is actually manipulation by institutions, and plan to trade the distribution phase accordingly. This accumulation, manipulation, distribution is also known as Power of 3, PO3.
This indicator does not try to teach any of these ideas, only help to visualise them on the chart, and as such should not be considered financial advice.
